Isitolo sokuqala sikaSam Walton, ama-5 no-10 eWalton, eBentonville ibamba iMus Museum yaseMal-Mart (eyayiyisikhungo se-Wal-Mart Visitor's Center). Isikhungo Sovakashele I-Wal-Mart savulwa ngo-1990 ukuze sibonise umlando we-Wal-Mart neminikelo yabo esifundeni. USam Walton waba nesandla ekubumbeni lowo mlando (wadlula ngo-1992), futhi abahlobo abaningi (abasebenzi baseWal-Mart) bangena ukusiza ukuklama, ukuhlela ngisho nendoda isikhungo somvakashi.
Isikhungo sokuvakasha sangempela sasandiswa futhi senziwa kabusha ngo-2011 ukufaka ama-5 no-10 e-Walton kanye nesakhiwo esiseduze (isakhiwo seTerry Block). Ngaphambili, kwakusanda ku-5 no-10 ka-Walton. Ngakho-ke, uma ungazange ube isikhashana, kunkulu kunanini ngaphambili.
Isitolo esidala sase-Walton yisitolo sangempela, esisebenzayo esisebenzela uhlobo olufana nesitolo sesipho. Bathengisa amathoyizi we-Retro namaswidi futhi banezinye izinto zokuqala. Ama-tiles asezingeni elihlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokubomvu asekhona nanamuhla ku-5 no-10 afakwe ngo-1951. Uma uqaphele ukuthi ayifani kahle, kungenxa yokuthi uSam ugcine imali ngokuthenga okuningi kwamatayela. Ungathenga i-Wal-Mart memorabilia nencwadi ka-Sam Walton, "Yenziwe eMelika" esitolo futhi. Amanye amapenki empeleni akhiwe kusukela emapulangwe amadala ophahleni ama-5 no-10 kaWalton okwakufanele atshintshwe lapho imyuziyamu ishintshiwe.
Ngemuva kokuvakashela isitolo, ufaka imyuziyamu. I-museum inezinkumbulo nemidwebo yomlando we-Wal-Mart, kufaka phakathi iloli likaSam elidumile.
Wayeqhathaniswa nokushaywa indiva futhi waqhuba iloli elibomvu i-Ford F150 ye-1979 (kune-replica phambi kweyamamyuziyamu). Amazinyo akhomba esiteshini sokushayela aphuma enja yakhe uRoy. Ube esekucaphuna ethi:
Angikukholelwa ukuthi indlela yokuphila enhle yokuzijabulisa iyadingeka. Kungani ngishayela iloli? Yini engingayidonsa izinja zami nxazonke, i-Rolls-Royce?
Ungabona ubufakazi obengeziwe bokuthi uhamba kahle naye njengoba uvakashela isibonelo sakhe sehhovisi. Izisebenzi zikaWal-Mart zitshela ukuthi kwakunjani ukulimaza nokuhlaselwa komhlaba. Wahlala endlini enesizotha futhi egqoke izingubo zokuthobeka, okungafani neze nombuso ayewakhile. Isiqephu esimnandi sokuthi imidwebo eludongeni ngeke iqonde ngqo, ngisho nalapho bezama ukuyiqondisa. Kwakuyindlela efanayo kulehhovisi likaSam.
Enye yezingxenye ezinhle kunazo zonke ze-museum yisitolo soda esidala. Bakhonza ice cream ye-Yarnell, okuyinto brand Arkansas. I-Yarnell sika-ayisikhilimu yayingumkhiqizo wokuqala we-ayisikhilimu Sam owake wathengiswa ngo-5 no-10 wakhe. Sam wayethanda i-butter pecan, ngakho-ke isitolo se-soda esinamathisela. Bane-flavour ekhethekile ye-Wal-Mart, okuthiwa i-spark cream, eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokuphuzi (imibala ye-Wal-Mart). Ngo-2014, i-Spark Café ye-Walmart Museum yakhonza ama-ayisikili ayi-12,417, ayisi-529,792. Ngokombiko weWal-Mart, abantu abangu-46 720 kulabo bahlambalaza babeyi-cream cream. Ezinye zezinto ezinhle kakhulu zokuzama emnyuziyamu ziyi-sundaes endala, ama-shakes nama-ice cream sodas. Kunzima ukuthola i-ice cream soda futhi.
